    Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) Registration and Compliance

    Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the commitment made by PIBO’s – a producer, importer, or brand owner – to facilitate a reverse collection mechanism of post-consumer waste and recycling of end-of-life plastic products. The objective is to circle it back into the system to recover resources embedded in the waste.

    In the year 2016, India introduced the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, 2016! Which introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility for plastic packaging waste and e-waste. We assist manufacturers and brand owners in the reverse logistics of these waste categories.

    How We Can Help

    As a government-approved Plastic Waste Processors (PWP), Esperanza is authorized to provide its brand partners EPR credits in exchange for collection and recycling of end-of-life plastics introduced by them through their business and manufacturing process.

    By collaborating with Esperanza for EPR, you get a full suite of solutions to meet EPR requirements, including collection and recycling services, consultancy for technical requirements, as well as carbon credits exchange. Together, we can keep our surroundings free from plastic pollution and contribute to the circular economy for a more sustainable future.
